Static Plate Load Test Apparatus – Ev2

Operational Overview

The ARCL Static Plate Load Test Apparatus – EV2 is a precision-engineered field testing system designed to evaluate the deformation and load-bearing characteristics of soil, subgrade and compacted granular materials. The apparatus is particularly suitable for determining the EV1 and EV2 deformation modulus, which are important parameters for assessing the stiffness and performance of foundations, road subgrades and pavement structures. The system applies a controlled vertical load through a rigid loading plate while measuring the resulting settlement using high-precision displacement measurement. The EV2 value obtained during the second loading cycle provides an indication of the deformation resistance and stiffness of the tested ground. Designed for demanding field applications, the ARCL EV2 Static Plate Load Test Apparatus combines a robust loading arrangement with accurate measurement and convenient operation, making it suitable for road construction, earthworks, foundation testing and quality-control applications.
